Here are my 4 entries for the MGX4 Challenge held at the first of the year on the Fitchenfoo forums, click here to view full challenge thread. The idea of this challenge was to finish at least 4 MG kits by April 30th giving everyone about 45 days to complete.

Astray Blue Frame
This is one of my favorite kits I have done. I just changed the colors a little giving it a metallic blue frame and using light grey instead of white. All the decals are Bandai water slides and the gloss coat on the frame is thinned Future.

Exia Ignition Mode
The Exia is a cool little kit. It has a tone of parts for being so small and the LED GN drive is a cool addition. I did find that after I painted the GN drive I could not get it out again so I was only able to see the finished kit with a lit GN drive once (: Again just changed the color scheme with polished aluminium frame and purple armor. I love this color combo and will be using it again in the future. The final top coat is Future flattened with Tamyia flat base.

Unicorn Gundam
Although the challenge was for 4 kits I did kit a 5th kit done by the April 30th deadline and that was the Unicorn. I really hate the pink psycho frame so I went with a metallic green frame with shaded armor. The shading took a lot of tim just because of the number of parts but it looks great in the end. The decals took me 3 full days, about 16 hours do apply. I don’t know how many there are but there are a lot. I changed the thruster pack a little just by using whit on the parts that flip out to reveal the side thrusters. I thought it looked nice and just broke it up little. Again the final top coat was flattened Future.

Well there you go 5 MG kits in 45 days. It was a lot of fun and work. I spent about 25-30 hours per kit. It meant several late nights painting, but it was worth it. Here is a link to my final thread for this challenge and the 5th bonus kit here.
